1. Follow the site-wide rules

2. Be civil
  • Understand the difference between a joke and an insult.
  • Do not harrass or attack users for any reason. This includes using blanket terms, like "every user of thing".
  • Don't get baited into back-and-forth insults. We are not animals.
  • Leave remarks of "peasantry" to the PCMR community. If you dislike an OS/service/application, attack the thing you dislike, not the individuals who use it. Some people may not have a choice.
  • Bigotry will not be tolerated.
    • 3. Post Linux-related content
  • Including Unix and BSD.
  • Non-Linux content is acceptable as long as it makes a reference to Linux. For example, the poorly made mockery of sudo in Windows.
  • No porn, no politics, no trolling or ragebaiting.
    • 4. No recent reposts
  • Everybody uses Arch btw, can't quit Vim, <loves/tolerates/hates> systemd, and wants to interject for a moment. You can stop now.
    • 5. πŸ‡¬πŸ‡§ Language/язык/Sprache
  • This is primarily an English-speaking community. πŸ‡¬πŸ‡§πŸ‡¦πŸ‡ΊπŸ‡ΊπŸ‡Έ
  • Comments written in other languages are allowed.
  • The substance of a post should be comprehensible for people who only speak English.
  • Titles and post bodies written in other languages will be allowed, but only as long as the above rule is observed.
    • 6. (NEW!) Regarding public figuresWe all have our opinions, and certain public figures can be divisive. Keep in mind that this is a community for memes and light-hearted fun, not for airing grievances or leveling accusations.
  • Keep discussions polite and free of disparagement.
  • We are never in possession of all of the facts. Defamatory comments will not be tolerated.
  • Discussions that get too heated will be locked and offending comments removed.
    • Β 

    Please report posts and comments that break these rules!

    Important: never execute code or follow advice that you don't understand or can't verify, especially here. The word of the day is credibility. This is a meme community -- even the most helpful comments might just be shitposts that can damage your system. Be aware, be smart, don't remove France.

    I have the same problem with CachyOS as I have with Manjaro: holding packages. I've been fcked up by aur once many moons ago on Manjaro and will never install it again... CachyOS seems it might have same problem.

    If there is no proper version check for dependencies, it's a packaging bug.

    That said, people have different priorities. I was mentioning the users that cannot herd their flock of installed Arch packages any longer and need something less involved.

    Maybe. As you might have inferred from my reply, I'm not a CachyOS user myself. I'm a packager of software for openSUSE (not a contributor to the distribution, just in my own home repo), so I can spot the occasional packaging bug. There's a bunch of Arch-derived distributions targeting more casual home users (KDE Linux is probably the biggest upcoming one, currently in alpha). Not all support AUR in the first place, though.

    @woelkchen @kurcatovium
    Implementing preserved-libs was sugested even in 2011, but arch/pacman devs do not want preventing package breaks
    https://bbs.archlinux.org/viewtopic.php?id=118995
    Ths would solve all dependency problems with inconsistent versions, partial updates. It will keep library until all depended software removed, preventing breakage

    I'm on Tumbleweed myself, just a user and I'm happy here. If there was no openSUSE, I'd probably be riding something arch-like, maybe even CachyOS.

    Yes, it's fantastic. Highly underrated. I've installed Slowroll on my Steam Deck's Distrobox yesterday. Interested to check out this conservative variant for a while.

    I'm on tumbleweed on my PC and one server, microos on my NAS. And that amazing, I stop distro hopping after tumbleweed. (I think to move m'y server on microos like my NAS)

    But I never try to install slowroll on my steamdeck, how are performance ? Are you starting with steam big picture or KDE desktop sddm ?

    Neither. As Distrobox container for command line tools. It requires a bit of jumping through hoops because I had to crossgrade Leap to Slowroll using opensuse-migration-tool.
